Atlanta July 4th fireworks show changes location

It’s been fireworks in Centennial Olympic Park for 20 years, but this July 4th will be different.

The celebration has moved a few blocks southwest to International Plaza, the green space around World Congress Center, Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Philips Arena.

“We wanted to keep it on our campus and this was a logical choice,” said Holly Richmond, Georgia World Congress Center Authority representative. “It was important for us to keep this tradition in place. It’s our gift to the community.”
